Vital Farms: A Market Leader In The Making
Vital Farms focuses on ethically raising cage-free, pasture-raised chickens, aligning with consumer trends and state laws, making it a promising growth market. The company has a small market share in egg production, but benefits from market trends and support for new laws. There's a risk associated with the fact that Vital doesn't produce the eggs, but rather buys them from farmers who don't have contracts with the company.
